LazyCat Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Mwahahaha sure when you hear a couple argue and fight and later on u c a body of one of them smashed on the ground. ... well most certainly it's because that person willingly jumped to his death , that's because he couldn't argue with his girlfriend anymore!!!!

Popular Post Confuscious Posted February 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2014 Moral of the story:Never fight with a Thai girlfriend. If you chose to fight with a Thai girlfriend make sure that you are at the bottom floor and the your girlfriend is not a Ladyboy. Sorry for the Ukrainian guy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryofthailand Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Lets face it every time their is a fatality from an upper floor of a condominium their always seems to be either a wife, or girl friend that is also in the room when the incident happens. The police need to smarten up and investigate these incidents completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkungbank Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 It's better take walk to cool down the anger rather then taking own life, for those who have money problems stay in temple or became monk forshort period of times and the desire to die will vanish in few days. Don't be stupid to commit suicide . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davejones23 Posted February 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2014 So you all think that the women of Phuket are so amazingly strong that they can hurl their boyfriends over the balcony. Most Thai women I've come across just wouldn't have the strength to do that. The naivety of many of you make me laugh though. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIJoe Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The height of balconies in Thailand eliminate any strength needed. They don't even come up to hip level for most farangs. So, until more info is available, death of unknown origin. Sent from my iPad using ThaiVisa app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live at this building and there is a full time front door security guard that would have surely assisted him getting into his room.My room is on the backside of the building and I was completely unaware of this incident until now!
